ANALYSIS DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18021430 Titled 'ANALYSIS DEVICE'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes an analysis device that can detect abnormalities in lung sounds and determine the severity of heart failure in a patient. The device uses time-series acoustic signals, which include lung sounds from different auscultation positions, to detect abnormalities. It also takes into account condition information about the patient. Based on the detection results and the patient's condition, the device determines the severity of heart failure. It then decides whether or not to output certain information to an external device and performs the corresponding output based on this decision.
Original Abstract Submitted
An analysis device includes a detection unit that detects abnormality in lung sounds for each of auscultation positions on the basis of time-series acoustic signals including lung sounds of each of the auscultation positions; a determination unit that determines severity of heart failure of a patient on the basis of a detection result of abnormality in the lung sounds of each of the auscultation positions detected by the detection unit and condition information representing a condition of the patient; and an output unit that decides whether or not to output predetermined information to an external device on the basis of a result of determination by the determination unit, and performs output corresponding to a result of decision.
